   Gensecpass2 - Ditched Mouse Hooks, Now U

   Hey folks,   
   quick update on gensecpass2.   
   I removed the mouse entropy collection that was using robotn/gohook because it   
   kept breaking compilation on Linux with nasty X11 conflicts.   
   Plus those native dependencies were a nightmare for cross-platform builds.   
      
   So I switched to something actually better: two keyboard challenges instead.   
   Challenge 1 has you type chaotically (just slam random keys fast), while   
   Challenge 2 captures your typing rhythm with irregular pauses.   
   Turns out this gives us *better* entropy anyway since we're capturing   
   nanosecond-precision timing data that's impossible to replicate.   
      
   Now it compiles everywhere without fighting with native libraries, and the   
   security is even stronger because human typing patterns are genuinely   
   unpredictable. Win-win!   
      
   Have fun !
